I want to connect a dvd player w/dvi output to an lcd monitor with dvi input. Is there a compatabillity problem because I am not running it trough a video card?

What DVD player has DVI-D out? Describe your cabling. Give model numbers for DVD player and LCD Monitor.

First set player to 480p. HDCP may be limiting higher resolutions.

The LG LST-3510A(which I have) has DVI output but you're correct EdDV because of HDCP DVD playback it's limited to 480p, that may very well be the OPs problem.

Samsung DVD-HD931 is the player I want to use and the monitor is 17" sp7106. (sold under LG and Staples and a variety of others)

Product summary
The good:
Excellent performance via DVI; converts DVD resolutions to 1080i and 720p; sleek styling; relatively inexpensive.

The bad:
No DVI aspect-ratio control; DVI jack won't work with non-HDCP displays.

The bottom line:
Great video and high style make this DVI deck shine, but make sure you have a compatible TV.

The 1280x1024 SP7106 doesn't seem to have HDCP. At least not in the listed specs.

So you should try 720x480p and adjust aspect ratio with custom H&V size presets.
